That's nice mate, I'm happy for you. Can we get back to chipper maintenance now?
-
I would have thought that greasing the sliders just helped bits of chip stick in there more?
-
It's gonna be a walk in the park compared to most tree work. I'd be tempted to stick to day rate and cherish the easier work!
-
As long as you keep the chain out the dirt full chisel will cut faster.
-
Cutting dirty wood or at high risk of foreign objects perhaps. Apart from that I don't see a point really.
-
Is the slic pin type thing attached Ewan? Reckon I'd drop it quite a lot!

Semi chisel doesn't stay sharp any longer, it's just less noticeable when it gets blunt...

Of course you have a choice. TV license isn't mandatory! -

You misunderstood me Ian. Since switching to man porn I barely touch myself, and that's what's cured it. I understand that some people just need an excuse though. Knock yourself out.

It'd be a deal breaker for me. On a par with cup holders. People get too hung up on capacity, towing power etc. Either that or they over compensate and get a Mog...

My experience of the 135 also. The 181 is far better. Great saws to give groundies too.

Virgin Birches are a pleasure to reduce. I get a lot of re-re-re-reductions on Birches and they're a pain. The client struggles to accept that"outside of the previous points" is best. Told one this week that the next time they call us I'll be felling it.

What's the price difference?

Someone sell me a Rope Wrench please

You can have my RW/HC/Tether for £200+vat -
Why a mistake Mark? Either can type will be overloaded, so legally you're shafted anyway. A double cab looks a lot more practical, for the same (illegal) capacity.

Fixed that for you

Ropes get washed when they get dragged through lawn sausages, crabs and stuff when they're not functioning. Wasn't referring to you. I know people who wash their kit every week!
-
I've never understood people obsessively cleaning their climbing kit. Someone on FB posted instructions on how to clean and maintain their Hitchclimber. I could barely hold back my disdain. Actually, I didn't.

Best Karabiner for SRT with RW and HC?
Joe Newton replied to charlie's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Why Durolock? The trip action ones drop you often? -
CS38 pole climbing best practise advice please
Joe Newton replied to Paul73's topic in Climbers talk
Obviously you'd have a lanyard and main line. Thought you were saying that when spiking up to the casualty you had to have your lanyard backed up with your mainline. Back when I did mine, it was spike up beneath the casualty, (didn't need your mainline tied to the stem), set up false anchor above casualty, proceed as usual. -

Do you need a secondary attachment if you're not cutting? A pulley saver/ropeguide works really well. -

You can't swap it out for an xsre? Gotta get one for myself. -
Only 6 days a week Matty? I bet you don't work more than 10 hours a day either. You're part time mate!

A simple mini swing check is fine for slack tending on a lanyard. Cheap too.
